I have a set of statements with quick replies that I would like to set a delayed response between that will make it appear that the chat bot is typing a response. The problem I am having is that if I place the ::next-XXXX:: (replacing XXXX with time in seconds) at the beginning of each statement the delay time happens but the "typing a response" does not appear. However, if I place some text, insert the delayed response, and then add more text it will show the first block of text and then show the typing a response message and then the second block of text. Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to show the typing a response message before displaying any text to the user?
